September 18, 2022
Christians are called to have an impact on the world. When Abraham’s neighboring cities faced fire and brimstone, he interceded for them. In this message, we contemplate lessons on prayer for others, for our cities, and for our families. Despite Abraham’s mediation, the cities were destroyed. Did his prayer make a difference?

When God is silent, we often doubt His promises. After the birth of Ishmael, Abraham did not hear from God for years. In this message, we discover three lessons about the desires of the flesh and true submission to God. We cannot live as a child of promise and a child of the flesh at the same time.

We might be the victim of our own decisions or others. Abraham and Sarah tried to engineer their circumstances so their maid, Hagar, would bear a son—an heir. In this message, we look at God’s command and promise to Hagar, who was the victim of the decision. People do not have the last word. In our despair and our extremities, God sees and intervenes.

How do we know God is working in us to bring about His purpose? In Genesis 15, God makes a covenant with Abraham—entirely based on His own word. But Abraham is obsessed with the problem of the promise. In this message, we are invited to a covenant without conditions. God says He will do what He promises—our eternities depend on it.

The decisions we make—even about money—have eternal consequences. After an unusual victory, Abraham is given a choice of allegiances between two kings. In this message, we perform a heart check on what possesses us. Are we living like God owns everything or do our decisions and bank accounts say otherwise?

“Respectable sins” are often the most dangerous in families. In this message, we meet two men—Abraham and his nephew, Lot—in the midst of a dispute about the land. Let’s learn from the examples of Abraham and Lot why we do not have to manipulate circumstances or insist on our own rights. God gives His best to those who entrust their future and legacy to Him.

Can we trust God to take care of us? Abraham was chosen by God to leave the comforts of Ur, going to a land he had never seen. Along the way, Abraham bent the truth to save his own skin, telling Egypt’s Pharaoh that his wife was his sister. In this message, we identify four lessons at the junction of trusting or backsliding. Backsliding always has more burdens than blessings.

The losses, challenges, and heartaches God brings on life’s journey reveal we were made for another world. God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees, promising to make of him a great nation. In this message, we find three lessons from Abraham’s first steps of faith that prepare us to trust God with our own journey. Are you living and longing for eternity?

Prosperity has a way of making us indifferent to the needs around us. The church of Laodicea had this problem. They were useless like lukewarm water, and Jesus threatened to spit them out. In this final message in a series on Jesus’ words to the churches in Revelation, we discover the difficult diagnosis of a lukewarm condition. What’s the cure?

When opportunity knocks, we must open the door—and it’s never truer than in our spiritual lives. Though the church at Philadelphia was small, Jesus opened the door for them to impact the world with the Gospel. In this message from Revelation 3, we consider how Jesus is still opening doors for us today. Jesus can do the impossible, even for those with little strength.

God sees us for who we really are. The church at Sardis was confronted by Jesus in Revelation 3 because they had a spotless reputation, but their hearts were rotten. In this message, we listen to Jesus’ rebuke, remedy, and ultimately the reward for repentance. Whose opinion could be more important than Jesus’?
